The Worst JHS Pedals Ever Made

This week's episode is a little different. In fact, it’s pretty weird. There are those that could call this episode an over-extended, shameless plug for JHS gear, and others who would argue that it’s too drenched in self-loathing and sadness to be anything other than depressing. Honestly, I’m not sure who's right.

I'm ordering some of these only so Josh can afford eyebrows someday

[lukasschliepkorte]

That's some pretty impressive reversed psychology.

[ericwixom]

Re-brand the Lucky Cat as ‘Here Keeley-Keeley’ or ‘Keeley Kat.’ Double up on the star power used to create it.

[bohdilama]

I don’t own a single JHS pedal but I love this channel.

[renzocalcagno]

This a good example of passive
-aggressive marketing tactics: "you don't really need our products. You wouldn't understand them. It's not your fault" 😂😂😂😂

[mattstrings]

The Crayon is the only pedal that hasn't come off my board in 5 years. The absolute secret weapon when you're losing a crowd and need to play an 8-bit Nintendo solo.

[jonathandiaz]

Me deciding last night that I was going to buy a lucky cat and Josh telling me not to buy it the next morning…

[jefgirdler]

When josh put his head down and hysterically screamed "IT'S TOTALLY FINE" into his arm I felt that on a spiritual level

Also, I LOVE that a lot of your designs are clean white minimalist fare. No one else is doing that and it just looks so nice. I wanna get a LIMG amp for my guitarist.

[DarwinStearns]

I'm surprised more people aren't going for the Spring Tank. That effects loop opens up all kinds of fun possibilities.

[desmondmyers]

This Jedi mind trick, reverse psychology, Dr Strange, voodoo mind warp just made me buy a crayon.

Josh I have kids to feed.

[gustavoeduardomoralesorteg]

My lucky cat is crying right next to me. Coming all the way to Mexico just to find out his creator hates him. Nice job Josh.

[LokoOno]

If you lowered the price of the "Loud Is More Good" amp from the current $2600 at Sweetwater, it certainly wouldn't sell any better. Please don't do it.

[iandutramusic]

Josh is possibly one of the only people who can talk shit about his own products while simultaneously making me want to buy them...

[garybird]

Being an Englishman I have to say that I strongly endorse the sarcasm on this video and the channel. There you go Josh, England sponsors your sarcasm, well done sir, well done.

[mattalevyatgmail]

Josh, thanks for this public service you’ve done. I was saving up for a Cheeseball, but I don’t want to hurt you by buying it. I’ll just have to spend that money on regular cheese instead.

[DavidDyte]

Not the Crayon! The Crayon is MAGNIFICENT. I love it so much. You can run the EHX Crayon into it for dual Crayon madness, too.

[alangreenway]

I think these pedals haven’t sold due Anderton’s website stating ‘JHS is one of the original boutique Brnads’.

I’m not sure anyone wants a Brnad.

[Foxywaterable]

“You don’t want it to sound too good” holy shit I just spit out my drink

[yupyup]

What’s really cool about these videos is that Mr. Josh is a great teacher. Even when he talks about pedals I’m not interested in buying at the time, I always learn something really cool about pedals, signals and effects. This happens when a person knows so much on a topic that they can’t help but impart insight on the topic they are speaking about. Fascinating stuff! Thank you for this Chanel!

If only JHS could make pedals as perfect as Nick's snare tone.
